Calico Libraries invites writers from across the borough and beyond to enter its inaugural writing competition!

We’re seeking short works of fiction (1,500 words or fewer) responding to the theme Imagined Worlds. Whether your story explores a reimagined reality, a speculative future, or an entirely original landscape, we’re looking for creative and distinctive interpretations of the theme.

Winning and highly commended entries will be published both in print and online, and will each receive a contributor copy of the physical pamphlet.

Submissions are open from 1st November until 31st December! 

For submission guidelines and to submit your work, please visit calicoprojects.com/calico-creative-writing-competition/
